for Aethan Velaryon in GOT: Aegon's War of Conquest
Suggested by benanderson
Aegon's Conquest, also called the Conquest, was the campaign in which Aegon I Targaryen conquered most of Westeros. Together with his sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, and their dragons, Vhagar and Meraxes, Aegon subdued six of the Seven Kingdoms, successfully resisted only by Dorne. Not all the continent had to be taken by conquest, as some regions and houses actively supported House Targaryen and others submitted voluntarily. The first and most prominent of the Wars of Conquest, Aegon's initial campaign lasted two years.[2] It was followed by the First Dornish War. The date of Aegon's coronation by the High Septon during the Conquest has been used by maesters to track years before and after Aegon's victory.
